My father is a participant in the Hamilton DNA project. He matches a descendent of Hugh/Hew Hamilton and Marion Gibbs. George Hamilton, 1933, The History of the House of Hamilton, suggests that the Priestfield, Lisdivin and Ballyfatton Hamiltons are connected to Patrick Hamilton of Kinnivel. The exact connection is not known. I'm still trying to figure out how Andrew is related to Hugh and William Hamilton, but there are a lot of coincidential bits of info that make me think he might be close to the Patrick of Killeter line. Pynar's survey has an interesting bit of data. There is an Andrew Hamilton who holds several pieces of land he received from his WILSON 'unkles'. Have you run across any Hamilton in the Priestfield, Lisdivin and Ballyfatton Hamiltons who was married to a Wilson female?
